Historical. 


As early as in May, 1893, there was organized 
and incorporated a society for conducting a Protes- 
tant hospital in Bloomington. Subscriptions to the 
amount of $5,000 were raised and in part collected. 
An option was obtained on property in the city, but 
upon thorough investigation, the building was found 
to be so poorly adapted for the purpose that the lo- 
cation was abandoned, as was, for the time being, 
the entire project. 

In 1895, some of the physicians of Blooming- 
ton and Normal organized for hospital purposes 
and secured an option upon the present site of Bro- 
kaw Hospital. The former organization joined 
them, giving the money already collected and being 
able to renew most of their old subscriptions. 

In September, 1895, the original building was 
located and contracts let for its erection. In May, 
1896, the hospital was opened for patients under 
the title of the Deaconess Memorial Hospital. From 
its opening the hospital was managed by the Men- 
nonite Deaconess Nurses under the leadership of 
Rey. Sprunger, until August, 1897. The local board 
then gave the management of the hospital to the 
Methodist Episcopal Deaconess Society of Chicago. 


4 HISTORICAL. 


This society continued the successful management 
of the hospital until January, 1902, since which time 
the Board of Trustees has managed the hospital 
through its Directors and various committees. 


In 1901, the second and larger building was 
begun and was occupied in October, 1902. ‘This 
building was made possible through the generosity 
of Mr. Abram Brokaw and, in honor of him and 
his wife, the name of the institution was changed to 
Brokaw Hospital.

Directors’ Report. 


———_—_ 


Brokaw Hospital is an incorporated institution 
with the ownership and control of its entire prop- 
erty vested in a board of trustees. This board con- 
sists of representatives of the Churches and Aid 
Societies. Each Evangelical Church in McLean 
County and each Aid Society, having the privilege 
of appointing two trustees. 

The trustees meet quarterly and at each an- 
nual meeting in January, select from their member- 
ship a board of eleven directors who meet monthly 
and who, with the active aid of various committees, 
have charge of the management of the hospital. 

The hospital is beautifully situated on a rolling 
tract of eight acres midway between Bloomington 
and Normal. The dirt and noise of a city are thus 
avoided, while the hospital is easy of access, being 
on the main street-car line between the two cities. 

The buildings, two in number, are practically 
one, being connected, on each floor, with wide cor- 
ridors, well lighted and heated in the winter. The 
lower floor of the smaller building is occupied by 
the surgical, operating and dressing rooms. The 
operating rooms have been rebuilt within the past 
year and are thoroughly equipped for the most suc- 


10 BROKAW HOSPITAL. 


cessful work. The remainder of this building is 
assigned to the school for nurses. 

The new or larger building is used entirely for 
the accommodation of patients. It contains fifty 
beds, mostly in single rooms, arranged to meet the 
the needs of all classes. Some rooms are large and 
elegantly furnished, where one may with a special 
nurse have all the home accommodations, yet feel the 
assurance of all the hospital and emergency equip- 
ments at hand. Other rooms range in price accord- 
ing to size and location and people of moderate 
means may be cared for with less expense than at 
home. 

The hospital staff consists of the superintend- 
ent, an assistant and several graduate nurses, beside 
the students in the training school. On the 3rd of 
June the School for Nurses will graduate a class of 
seven. 

The growth of the hospital has been a source 
of gratification to its friends. In 1903, 338 pa- 
tients were treated as compared with 200 in 1902. 
All classes of medical and surgical cases are re- 
ceived, except contagious diseases and violent cases 
of mental disease. However, it is the aim of the 
directors to limit the work of the hospital, so far 
as possible, to cases which can be benefited by pro- 
per care and treatment, rather than to furnish a

home for incurables, thus limiting the hospital

Donations. 


Brokaw Hospital owes its prosperity to its 
iriends. Many have given liberally of their serv- 
ices and money. Several rooms have been furnished 
by individuals wishing to aid the work of the hos- 
pital. Many of these rooms are elegant and com- 
plete in their equipment. The increased income 
from such rooms has been a great financial help to 
the hospital. 

The directors wish to thank the many friends 
who have so liberally donated flowers, vegetables, 
magazines, linen, and other articles so useful to the 
hospital and acceptable to the patients. 

In May, 1903, Hospital Sunday was instituted 
in many of our churches. On this Sunday, the en- 
tire collection of the day was given to the hospital. 
The returns from this were very gratifying and the 
directors are especially pleased with the kindly in- 
terest shown by the various pastors, in the hospital 
and its work. This Hospital Sunday, so auspici- 
ously inaugurated, we trust and feel sure, will be 
continued. The money donated by the churches, in 
this way, is expended wholly in the charity work of 
the hospital.

Endowment. 


The directors wish, in this connection, to ex- 
press their gratitude to the hospital’s principal bene- 
factor, Mr. Abram Brokaw. In the sunset of a 
long and active life, he has not only come to our 
rescue, but he has further assumed the responsibil- 
ity of providing for the future of this hospital, thus 
making it a lasting monument to his generosity. 

During the past year, his liberal donations have 
made possible extensive improvements, both in 
buildings and furnishings. Mr. Brokaw has fur- 
ther inaugurated a hospital endowment fund, by 
donating for this purpose, $25,500. > This fund is 
controlled by three trustees, Capt, J: H. Rowell, Mr. 
Geo. P. Davis, and Mr: #; ‘Y. Harnilton, who pay 
its earnings to the diréctors: ’ It ‘is sincerely hoped 
that this fund may: rapidiv’grow,:as one of our most 
urgent needs is of an assufed iticome, so that the 
hospital work can not only be increased, but can be 
planned from year to year in advance. 

While the hospital has many rooms comfort- 
ably and even elegantly furnished, there are none 
for which the support is provided. 

The endowment of a bed entitles the donor to 
appoint one patient at a time, free of charge, to a 


18 BROKAW HOSPITAL. 


ward bed, such appointments being subject to the 
regular rules regarding the admission of patients. 

The endowment of a room entitles the donor to 
appoint one patient at a time, free of charge, to that 
room or another equally desirable. 

Three hundred dollars will support a ward bed 
for one year; five hundred dollars will support a 
bed in a ten dollar room for one year. 

Five thousand dollars will endow a ward bed 
in perpetuity; ten thousand dollars will endow a 
private room in perpetuity and allow the donor to 
name and control said room. 


Charity Work. 


No one needing hospital service, and whose ail- 
ment has not been such as to prohibit admission, 
has ever been turned from the doors of Brokaw 
Hospital, because of his inability to pay for the 
service rendered. 

Charity is expected to figure largely in the work 
of the institution and is extended to all cases which 
are unable to pay. The hospital also accepts many 
patients whose means will not admit of full rates, 
such part as they are unable to pay being classed as 
free work. 

A feature of the charity work done is in the 
service of visiting nurses sent to the homes of the 
poor, and whose duties include attendance upon the 
sick, as well as instruction to the family concerning 
the care of the patient between the daily visits of 
the nurse. This work is entirely free and is done in 
co-operation with the Bloomington Bureau of As- 
sociated Charities. 

During the year 1903 out of a total of 6,295 
days care of patients in the hospital, 2,088 of such 
days care were wholly or partly free. During this 
period free work to the amount of $3,279.37 was 
done in the hospital. 


Ladies’ Aid Societies. 


Service of great value has been rendered by 
the Ladies’ Aid Societies of Bloomington and Nor- 
mal. Organized early in the history of the hospital, 
the members of both societies have been active at 
all times in every undertaking for its welfare. 

The Bloomington Society furnished a room in 
the old building and in the new building have fur- 
nished and fully equipped two rooms for the ob- 
stetric service. 

The Normal Society fully furnished two rooms, 
one in each building. 

The members of these societies have been the 
means of securing large quantities of supplies for, 
the hospital and have been the active agents in gain- 
ing many warm friends for the institution. The 
directors are glad of an opportunity to express their 
appreciation of this auxiliary work. They hope 
that the societies named will continue their activity 
and that similar societies may be organized in each 
town of the county. 


Medical and Surgical Work. 


Much of the success of Brokaw Hospital is due 
to the efforts of a body of attending physicians and 
surgeons, who are skillful in their profession and 
who have the confidence of the people in this and 
adjoining counties. 

The directors are justly proud of the skill and 
ability of the members of their medical staff and aim 
to make every condition as nearly perfect as pos- 
sible to enable them to most successfully care for 
their patients. 


The medical staff is selected by the board of 
directors, usually upon the nomination of the staff 
itself. The staff has its own organization with 
regular quarterly meetings. It formulates rules for 
the sanitary management of the hospital and selects 
one of its members to serve on the House Com- 
mittee. 


All physicians and surgeons have the privilege 
of treating their private cases at the hospital and 
their patients receive the same care and attention 
as do those of the members of the staff.

School for Nurses. 


In January, 1902, the directors of Brokaw 
Hospital established a training school for nurses to 
be conducted in connection with the hospital. 

This school, incorporated under the title of the 
Brokaw Hospital School for Nurses, offers to wo- 
men desirous of becoming professional nurses, a 
course of practical and theoretical instruction. The 
practical knowledge is gained by actual care of pa- 
tients, under the supervision of the superintendent 
and her assistants. The theoretical course is of the 
best. The medical staff, composed of the most emi- 
nent physicians and surgeons in Central Illinois, 
give weekly lectures and daily clinical instructions. 

Classes in text-books are conducted by the su- 
perintendent; a graduate nurse is in charge of the 
operating rooms, and a graduate dietetic teacher has 
the classes and practical work in cooking. All pu- 
pils receive the same training except in contagious 
work, this being optional. Nurses desiring the work 
are sent out under the supervision of a staff 
member. 

The superintendent has the immediate charge 
of the Training School, subject to the authority of 
the House Committee of the Hospital. Appli-

cants are received at any time during the year that 
vacancies occur. ‘They are, as a rule, received in 
the order of their application, but those so desiring 
may be placed upon the emergency list to be called 
when needed. The most acceptable age is from 
twenty-one to thirty-five years. Applicants will be 
required to answer the questions on accompanying 
blank, and must send with the application a testimo- 
nial of character from her pastor or some clergyman 
who has known her at least five years, also a physi- 
cian’s certificate of health. 

No pupil will be admitted unless she holds a 
teacher’s certificate, a diploma from some school, or 
can pass a satisfactory examination in the common 
English branches. 

The probationary period is one month, but in 
doubtful cases may be extended to two. During 
this time probationers will receive board, lodging, 
and laundry work. When accepted as a pupil she 
may wear the uniform of the school, which consists 
of a blue and white seersucker dress, white apron, 
cuffs, collar, and cap. The usual hours of duty are: 
Day nurses, from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m., with, when 
possible, from one to two hours off for rest and rec- 
reation; night nurses, from 7 p. m. to 7 a.m. Pu- 
pils are allowed one-half day each week and a part 
of Sunday.

SCHOOL FOR NURSES. 31 


After two months of day duty and one month 
of night duty, the nurse will be required to sign an 
agreement to remain in the school for the full term, 
and in violation of this agreement, her own illness 
excepted, she must refund to the school such amount 
of money as may have been expended for her. 

Upon recommendation from the superintendent 
the House Committee may at any time dismiss a 
nurse for misconduct or inefficiency. 

The school provides material for uniforms, and 
during the Senior year each nurse taking her full 
course of training in this hospital, will receive $8 
per month, not as compensation for services ren- 
dered, but to meet the heavier incidental expenses 
of said year. 

In illness pupils will be cared for at the expense 
of the hospital, but such time lost must be made up 
at the end of the term. Upon completion of full 
term and passing satisfactory examinations, the 
graduate receives a diploma of the school. 


Miscellaneous Information. 


| Probationers should bring with them the fol- 
lowing: Three wash dresses simply made, six large 
white apron, several plain white collars, two bags 
for soiled linen, and a good supply of plain under- 
clothing. Each article must be distinctly marked

with owner’s name in full. Those remaining in the 
school, will be required to have their own watch 
and napkin ring; also to wear broad-toed, rubber- 
heeled shoes. If teeth are out of order, they 
should receive the necessary attention before en- 
tering. |
